Summer Chili

D – Just a quick entry to share a favorite Rachel Ray recipe I found a couple of years ago – SOUTHWESTERN CHILI MAC SALAD. This pasta dish is good warm or cold, and is great for leftovers. I have modified the recipe (link below), by substituting ground bison for the beef. I use whatever onion variety is handy. Thanks to our bi-weekly FarmHouse Delivery (www.farmhousedelivery.com ), we usually have some kind of onions on hand. This week we used spring onions, along with some cherry tomatoes and corn on the cob from our bushel. Besides using the bison, whole wheat pasta can be substituted for a healthier version. To ensure that the bison is flavorful, don’t be shy with the chili powder (I always add extra, along with some comino).
